Tsunami warning causes minor panic

津波警報でプチパニック
Good evening everyone 🙌🏾
.
This is Naoto from skin&scuba PIRICA 🌏
.
It's been a while since my last blog post, but I've been out at sea every day 🏖️
.
Let's go to the beach today and have fun with our repeat customers!
.
As I was heading towards Iriomote Island, my cell phone suddenly started buzzing...
.
Earthquake in Taiwan 🫨
.
And there was a tsunami warning.
.
A 3m tsunami?!
.
I've heard that even a 50cm tsunami can sweep you off your feet, so if a 3m tsunami were to hit, the damage would be enormous.
.
I got in touch with a senior colleague who was nearby and we decided to go out to sea and see what was going on...
.
In the event of a tsunami, the impact will be less severe if you go out to sea.
.
After waiting offshore for about an hour and a half, a tsunami warning was issued, but then the warning was lifted, so we managed to visit three places and come back.
.
Yesterday I did my 60th birthday dive with a red chanchanko style BCD 🟥
.
.
We will also give you a 3-go bottle of Awamori as a gift 🎁
.
.
I'm glad we were able to deliver it to you safely underwater!
.
At Nohara Sone, the current was stronger than expected and I ended up doing flutter kick drift diving.
.
.
If you look at this school of big-eyed trevally swimming sideways, you can see how fast the current is.
.
I'm going to have fun diving again tomorrow!
.
Well then😊🙌🏾
